We Are Amongst The Flogging Luminaries

Of course, not a day goes by when I don't wake up and thank the Good Lord that I am SOOOOOO honored to be acquainted with one of the brightest luminaries of the food blogging world, awhiffoflemongrass, who by now, is hardly merely awhiff, but a full blown tornado, sweeping the globe with her famous blog.

Wife woke me up bright and early on Saturday morning, when I was QUITE hungover from KTT's birthday dinner, to tell me that my Female Acquaintance of the Year was almost a centrefold in the Saturday Star. There can be nothing that quite describes the feeling of being greeted with the full portrait of that star in my zombified state of residual alcohol reeking through my pores!

We are so so proud to be associated with you. Congrats on the article. Of course, Hairy Berry and I are wondering if that flattering portrait was taken by him or me.

I shed blood in posting this. As I reached out in my briefcase for my camera, I poked my hand on a stray dental floss toothpick....can you see the blood on my middle finger, just where the nail meets the flesh? I hope AWOL appreciates my efforts. AWOL.... hey, that's a great acronym!

On an unrelated note, since we are taking pictures of the newspapers, I thought the insanity streak comic strip was rather cute.

FBB, you are ABSOLUTELY right! i think the main highlight of my blogging life is not the most self-indulging post i've ever written but to be surrounded by such luminaries! you included! and the wonderful jokes, of course!

oh, i think you took that picture lar. i took less than 10 pics at the club that day..hehe...

gfrabda, (what a mouthful), haha, i think it was a clean one, but those plastic toothpicks are damn sharp. since gangrene hasn't set in after 24 hrs, i guess i'm fine. as for PAV PAPA, sounds like a good name, but arrrgh, PAVs are the least fave desserts of mine!

argus, guffaw, i chuckled at the thought of you using a magnifying glass to check out my blood.

Heh. What LL doesn't mention is the nightmare she put me through when she asked me to remove a hand from her pic. Apparently I "overPhotoshopped" it and every version got plainer and simpler till... well, the only difference was the removed hand.
